3 wheelin'!
Apart from being "cool" looking, and showing how hard someone is driving, is having a car go up on 3 wheels a "bad" thing, racing wise anyway? Should that not happen if the car is setup properly or ?
Also, why does that happen, chasis flex, or some sorta flexing of the frame/body/etc.? Or Is it just the compression of the opposite corner's suspension/tire flex?

Ideally for MAX Grip all 4 should stay on the ground. Frond drivers like the MINI have a tendancy to "Tripod" and lift the inside rear. The opposite of a sprint car, lifting the inside front
The Defending 2004 Chili Bowl champ [indoor midget race] actually ran a bicycle tire on his inside front. It never touched the ground in the turns. Less contact meant less rolling resistance and less weight.
